Description

My colleagues and I were discussing this section of the docs and got a bit confused:

https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-adoption.html#feature-comparison

Screenshot 2020-01-23 at 12 28 05

It was not 100% clear whether 🚫** → Warns in development means

  • works, may be buggy, warns in development
    or
  • does not work, also warns in development.

Both interpretations can be explained logically. The first one can be true because the footer note does explicitly say does not work and we're still in 16.x, which assumes no breaking changs. The second interpretation comes from the presence of 🚫.

I'm wondering if the docs could be improved by replacing 🚫* and 🚫** with distinct emojis (e.g. ⚠️, ⛔️, 🚨, 🤞, ✳️, 🆗, ❇️, etc.). Each emoji can be present in a footnote, including ✅ and 🚫.

Research direction

Start with the Feature Comparison section at the linked concurrent-mode-adoption.html URL and inspect the 🚫* and 🚫** legend, footnotes, and screenshot. Clarify the distinction between supported-but-warning behavior and unsupported behavior, then verify that the revised symbols and explanations render clearly in the documentation.
